Whatever method you choose to cook them, they make a unique, tasty, and easy side dish! The baked version is ready in 30 minutes, and the sauteed one is ready in 15. This simple shiitake mushroom recipe is one of my favorite side dishes. It’s easy and flavorful, and the leftovers keep well, so sometimes I double this recipe to enjoy tasty leftovers. I love mushrooms of all kinds. I enjoy their bold flavor and meaty texture. In addition to this recipe, I also like to make sauteed mushrooms, crab-stuffed mushrooms, and stuffed portobello mushrooms.

Extra virgin olive oil: Don’t skimp on the oil! I use 4 tablespoons, which may seem like a lot, but it’s important to use all of it for the best flavor. White wine vinegar: I don’t recommend using distilled white vinegar in this recipe. It’s too acidic. But red wine vinegar does work. To season: Kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme. Fresh shiitake mushrooms: I usually get them at Whole Foods, but they are also available in many supermarkets. Chopped parsley: I use it mostly for garnish, so you can skip it if you wish. It does add a nice splash of color, though.
Your first step is to season the mushrooms with a mixture of olive oil, white wine vinegar, and spices. I use my hands to ensure the mushrooms are well coated. Next, spread the mushrooms on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake them for about 20 minutes in a 400°F oven. That’s it!
Wipe clean, cut off the stems, and slice the mushrooms. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. When the butter starts foaming, add the sliced mushrooms along with ½ teaspoon of kosher salt and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper. Saute the mushrooms, stirring often, for about 2 minutes. Sprinkle the mushrooms with ½ teaspoon of garlic powder and ½ teaspoon of dried thyme. Keep cooking them, stirring, until they are tender, about 2 more minutes. Serve immediately.

I sometimes add the leftovers to a salad. Or I fry a couple of eggs and place them on top of the reheated mushrooms for a quick and easy lunch.
